Broadcast / Action to anyone on the Marsiva
[Veronica wakes with a distinct feeling of wrongness. The camera zooms in as blue eyes open, a frown already on her face. She sits up slowly, the covers falling off and pooling at her hips to reveal she's in standard Garrison uniform, the typical attire of an officer. Rubbing at her face, she looks to the side to spot her glasses and quickly jams them on.

Her frown deepens.] Where...am I...?

[Veronica slides out of bed, to find her shoes tucked neatly beside the bed. Frowning at them, she goes barefoot for now, instead running down the hallway and feeling cold metal under her feet.]

Hello? Is anyone there?

Action - Iskaulit & Blue Fish
[Veronica can be found wandering the Iskaulit and the S.S. Blue Fish restlessly. She's a hot mess of emotions, unsure how to deal with everything that is going on right now, and her first priority is just to become familiar with her surroundings. Most everything she would be interested in is on the Iskaulit, it seems, so this is where she starts.

She'll most often be pacing, but if you're lucky, you might catch her frowning and poking at her communicator, trying to make it function in some way like what she's used to. She wants more information, maybe this can help.]

[Veronica laughs softly and nudges Lance's shoulder, grinning.]

Aww, Lance! That's so cute. I can't wait to meet him properly. [Her eyes are glinting with mischief.] He'll need a proper family induction.

[the_tailor]

You--ah--

[Damnit, Veronica.]

Don't make him feel too awkward, okay? I mean, yeah, I've been in a relationship with him for almost a year, and told him about how inevitably he's going to meet the family... But don't scare him!

[itsyagirl]

Look, he's going to have to deal with me if he's going to be involved with you. [She folds her arms over her chest.] If he can't hack it, then he doesn't deserve you. We're a close family.

[the_tailor]

He does deserve me! He deserves a heck of a lot more, even! Just...maybe not so much with threatening violence or something? I don't think he'd take that too well.

[Though to be honest, he's kind of touched that Veronica is insistent on this.]

[itsyagirl]

[She rolls her eyes.] Leave that to me to decide, hermanito.

[the_tailor]

Veronicaaaaaaa...

[He's just going to kick lightly at his foot.]

Fine, but just keep in mind what I said. This is my first real relationship and if it goes pear shaped, I, well. I don't want to think about it.

[itsyagirl]

Aw, Lance. [She smiles and reaches out to ruffle his hair.] Don't overthink it. That's what makes things go pear shaped.

[the_tailor]

You know me, I overcomplicate everything.

[A little smile, though.]

...thanks, though.

[itsyagirl]

'S what I'm here for. [She smiles at him, sipping at her drink and leaning back with a soft sigh.]

Wherever here is.

[the_tailor]

It's not so bad, honestly. And like I said, since time pauses back home, there's not much use in worrying about that. I'm just using my time here to life my life the way I can't back home. Weird how this is more normal to me, huh?

[He goes back to his own drink as well.]

[itsyagirl]

Yeah, honestly, that is weird. [Veronica chuckles, but her smile fades quickly as her hands wrap around her drink, brow furrowing in thought.]

I always wanted to go to space, but not like this.

[the_tailor]

I know.

[There's a pause before he reaches out, resting his hand on hers.]

We're in this together now though, yeah? And we don't have to deal with the Galra. Not like back home. In fact, there's a super mega cool Galra here you'll probably meet named Ulaz. He's part of a rebel group that's been helping us out back home. And he...saved our lives.

[At the cost of his own.]

[itsyagirl]

[Veronica flips her hand over to twine her fingers with Lance, squeezing gently. Their family has always been rather physically affectionate, and the touch is reassuring right now. She perks up at what Lance is saying.]

Galra rebel group? [She puts that together pretty quickly.] What, so he's a Blade?

[the_tailor]

He is! This place has given us the chance to actually really get to know him, and he really is great. Helps take care of Shiro, too, and considering how much that guy likes to overwork himself... Ulaz is kind of a godsend.

[He smiles. He's definitely come to care a lot for the big guy.]

Oh, uh, while we're on the topic of Galra... And Blades, at that... So, Keith's not only a paladin, but he's also a Blade.

[itsyagirl]

[She smiles and nods. She's seen how hard Shiro works himself. He hadn't even given himself a chance to rest for a bit before coming to pilot the Atlas again after literally falling into the atmosphere on Sendak's ship. The guy is hardcore.]

Sounds like a good guy. I'm looking forward to meeting him.

[She looks up at Lance, then huffs softly and nods.] Oh, yes, I know. Or at least, I assumed so. Krolia is his mother, isn't she? They look so similar.

[the_tailor]

Right? It's almost freaky how much he takes after her! Minus the whole...purple and pointy ears thing. God, you wanna talk about a shovel talk, I'm terrified of what will happen if she shows up here too.

[Not that he doesn't get along with Krolia just fine, but...shudder. She can be scaaaary.]

[itsyagirl]

[That makes Veronica laugh.] Don't worry, I'll protect you. [She grins, putting up her hands in fists as though preparing to fight before setting them back down and sipping at her drink.] I'm a decent shot now, you know.

[the_tailor]

[He can't help but laugh at that first part.]

Oh yeah? Bet you can't outshoot me, though.

[itsyagirl]

No one can outshoot you, Lance. [She grins.] I've never seen anyone shoot like you do.

[the_tailor]

Aw, sis, you're gonna make me blush. You're military, you've got to have seen better!

[He looks sheepish.]

[itsyagirl]

Not better than you. I mean it. [She smiles fondly.] You're really talented.

[the_tailor]

[And he smiles, even if it's still sheepish.]

...Thanks. I've worked really hard at it over the years. When it's a matter of life and death, you gotta, you know? But I'm glad you noticed.

[itsyagirl]

That...does tend to make one pretty good at something. [Veronica laughs softly.] Don't say I don't pay attention to you, hermanito.
